Thunderbird Support Forum

This bug was reported 28 days ago and has yet to be resolved. https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1857734

The temporary fix for the unpopulated unified folders including the Sent folder, and the issues with missing messages, some showing up in individual folders and not the unified folder and vice versa were just that, temporary fixes. Yesterday, the Sent folder was back to being unpopulated, and the individual folders containing my important and starred messages were all open for some mysterious reason. How this happened out of the blue is also a mystery, because I was not notified of an upgrade. If upgrades are installing on my computer without my permission, this is completely unacceptable. This is a subject that needs to be taken seriously at this point.

Unable to send email from Mozilla Thunderbird Problem has been worked over days, good ideas have come in via this portal, all workable ones did not change the fact: email can not be sent Our server: acsalaska.net after contacting, went over our account, all is well on their end, it must then be Mozilla Thunderbird that holds the key Thanks for your input

I have message threads that contain messages that are not part of the thread. I don't know how they got linked into the same thread, so are many months apart. Some times I find more than one thread in which a series of messages occur. Any ideas why that may have happened?

I would like to correct the threading but can find no way to edit threads to remove message or to break threads. Is there a way to edit threads?

A few days ago I posted here that my inbox was corrupt. At that time most of the December incoming emails were spoiled and inaccessible.

Now the failure has spread back all the way to the beginning of the inbox -- incoming emails from 2017 and 2018 which I had kept there for lack of a better place to put them.

What can I do? Other than stop using Thunderbird?! I am on Beta, would it help to go to the normal version?

How would I do that?

I have lost hundreds of incoming emails, valuable ones by definition (i.e. because I chose to keep them).

I am using 1220b1 (32-bit) in Windows 10.

Hello, My email signature does not work properly in Thunderbird. I'm using the html code shown below and in the attached screen shot image, and while the text displays properly, the image never displays (also shown in screenshot image). I tried a bunch of things I found in help for related threads, but nothing has worked so far. I have no issues with my signature in Google mail on my desktop or Apple mail on my iphone. It works perfectly on those email client. I'm using 115.6.0 with Build ID 20231215200246 on a Macbook Pro. Please advise.

"Matt: This is all off topic, so to save me having to read anymore of it, I am locking this off topic item."

Hey Matt, What is OFF Topic? I created the topic. Closing these questions is why the problems continue to exist.

Your solutions do not fix the problem. I should not have to be a CSS coder to get previously used functions back.

Just because it is easy for you, does not mean it is easy for everybody.

Put Menu Bar back at the top.

Put Sort/Threads back in the latest version.

Provide a way to globally set the Sort Threads .

Let the power users select these restrictive features and let the rest of us keep the old functions.

Who wants to join me in an accessibility law suit against Mozilla and Thunderbird? The latest version of TBird is unusable.

Put the Menu bar back at the top. Allow us to globally turn off 'sort treads into conversations' and make it the default. This is not a texting app. Stop forcing changes on us. We don't want them.

Fix the tool bar and Search Bar so it works like it did for the previous decade.

Do the developers track crap from the sidewalk into their offices by Fisherman's Warf so they think crap is the new form of coding. Just code Thunderbird into a pile of crap.

Mozilla et al only gives lip service to accessibility.

After updating thunderbird a little week ago maybe - the program began to shut down suddenly - several times. But yesterday there was no acces to mails, folders.. just an almost blank screen. Only the 'headers' are visibly - you know: 'Files', 'Edit' etc. is visbly. When the program did shut down, I did not get a crash-report. It was also in a strange way, because, I could see, that TB was open, but when I did try to acces it, nothing showed up. I could only restart the computer to get access to it again. But... yesterday everything was, as I have showed in the picture. I can't see any of my mails - and actually I have 10 different accounts/profiles, so it's a big problem for me, that all old mails is gone - and the new one too... Fortunately all my incoming mails are redirectet to a backup mailadress - if I had not done that years ago, I would be really f....

I have tried to open in troubles... mode - does not help....

I tried to unplug and replug the pc - no difference. I have tried to reinstall TB - now several times - no difference... The problems began with an update - I wish I could downgrade to a version, that works well... But I haven't kept the older version...

I'm an old Danish women with very little knowledge of reading and understanding complicated possible solutions - but I know how to install a program, so where can I find an older version to install, so that I can read and write an email again?

Now I have to use and old gmail-account and not my usual accounts.

I'm so sad...

BTW: it's version 115.5.2 (64-bit) - and my pc is running Windows 11

I have asked in some forums too with no luck.

Thunderbird updated on my system today.....ever since that it will not connect to my gmail account I get a popup and when i click on next i get an error messaging saying

Google 400. That's an error.

"The server can not process the request because it is malformed. It should not be retried. That's all we know"

Everything was completely fine up until this update!

I am very unhappy with this new Thunderbird update to 115.3.1. Everything being changed is killing my office's productivity. How can I roll back that update to the one before it.

Alternatively, is there any way to make this new update look and act like the previous version. I want all the control buttons back that used to be there.

Hi,

I am a longtime Thunderbird user. I have 3 email accounts that I check via Thunderbird. I am having issues on just one of those accounts since the 115 Supernova update. I see the message "checking inbox for new messages" but they are not downloading. I have ATT email through Yahoo, and I can log into Yahoo Mail (webmail) and see the messages there ... they suddenly are just not downloading to Thunderbird.

I have tried:

compacting folders Thunderbird safe mode Windows safe mode with networking turning my antivirus off temporarily moving all emails in that account Inbox to a backup folder

I'm frustrated and need to download mail - can you please help me?! Thanks!

I have been trying to use Paypal to donate to Thunderbird. It just keeps giving error message "something went wrong" The Contact Us link on the Donations page didnt work either so I had to fiddle around getting to this page. Also sent question to an Admin. Very frustrating

This is NOT Thunderbird but a whole new program and it's terrible!

Something this dramatic is NOT AN UPDATE!

It's very poor configuration and does not function anything close to what was before.

SOOOO MANY THINGS ARE WRONG AND DON'T WORK RIGHT.

The older version would be an IMPROVEMENT to this set up!

Please don't cop an attitude like we don't know. WE DO KNOW!

This is NOT BETTER.

PLEASE RESTORE THE OLDER VERSION AND LET US CHOOSE!

i SO REGRET THAT ID ALLOWED THIS, HAVING TRUSTED YOU.

- Open TB - Open Inbox to see all emails - Open an email, read it, delete it - Scroll down, reading email Subjects until I find another email I want to open (this may be 30-40 lines or more) - Open another email, read it, delete it

The cursor/highlight then jumps back up to the previously highlighted email (next to the first email I deleted). Now I don't know where I am, I don't know what email Subjects I have already looked at, I don't know where the next unlooked-at email is. In order to get back to where I was before I deleted the second email, I have to scroll down through many emails I have already scrolled through.

How do I stop TB from doing this? I want the cursor/highlight to stay right where it was before I delete any email, I do not want it jumping to some previous location.

What is going on with the new TB client? I now have no access to my Sent mail. Nothing showing in Unified Sent mail and no more access to individual account sent folders. Major mistake upgrading. To elaborate, the Unified Send folder has never displayed sent messages and this is a known issue in bugzilla. But we have had the option to expand this folder to show the individual send folders in order to view sent messages. Now, there is no way to expand this folder, so the only way to view sent messages is to choose All Folders from Folders Mode. This defeats the purpose of Unified Folders. It's a step backwards. If there are no plans to address the Unified Send folder, then why was the option to expand it removed. Makes no sense.

Please restore my old version of Thunderbird - at 85 years I am not computer savvy and I am too old to learn new tricks. So please tell me how I might get back the previous layout of Thunderbird. Kind regards, Lawrence (Laurie) Ford. Melbourne Australia. 2nd October,2023.
